Hey thanks again for all your help. Unfortunately the code you sent does not work. I think its the twEffect (I assume you mean typewriter effect) that is in the code that is causing the problem. Here is the original code that works which types out the one line of text "You cannot stop a Tornado."
var myString:String = "You cannot stop a Tornado.";
var myArray:Array = myString.split(""); //seperates each letter which creates the typewriter effect.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,frameHandler);
function frameHandler(event:Event):void{
if(myArray.length > 0) {
textField.appendText(myArray.shift());
}
else
{
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frameHandler);
textField.text="";
}
}
